My mind loves black and white.
​

When I used to color as a child (which was OFTEN), I was ever-aware of the lines and how I needed to stay inside them... because that’s what looked best. Prettiest. Cleanest.


Over time, despite a deep love of the outdoors and getting dirty, the need to be clean was ever-present. My yogic philosophy and practices have helped me curb my inner urge for “one” or “the other” ... and assure myself again and again that I can be both.

I am this: An outdoorswoman living off-grid in the arctic.

In the photo above, I’m content to sit on a boulder (many days from my last shower, mind you!) at the edge of Wiseman Creek. This was during a hike with guests at our Arctic Hive Harvest of the Heart Fall Equinox hiking + yoga retreat a few weeks ago.
​

And I am that: A modern business-woman connected to the world.


I’m interested in supporting my family, doing good, and reaching more people with our message of community, sustainability and peace (especially through yoga!). In the photo below, I’m showered, clean and “put together,” sipping a ginger ale at a marketing conference in Anchorage last week.

I’ve been remembering lately that I exist perpetually between (and beyond!) this and that.


I turned 38 on September 9th, and instead of spending my time doing what I thought most important (posting a prophetic IG post about my “word of the year,” ha!)... I got slammed with a mystery illness followed by a straggling pneumonia that I’m still healing from today.


Turning 38 proved anything but “in the lines” and I’m sitting with that — alongside all the other chaos happening in the world. The word that arose on September 9th is still ringing true today… so I’m going to stick with it for my 39th lap around the sun:


Simplify.


We can only understand things in life if we understand them simply... whether it’s our food, our life experiences, or our dreams for the future. And when things get complicated, it’s the simple things that bring us back to earth, and remind us what’s important.


I’ve got so much I want to share and do and accomplish this year. AND, I’m slowing myself down so I can keep it simple, and focus on what truly matters. Life can be simple AND full at the same time.


In light,
Mollie

If you were around the Yoga Hive community in Montana or Alaska back in the early days, you might remember a workshop I used to host called “Be You”. The entire premise of the 4-hour experience was around cultivating self-reflection tools through the yogic lineage, with the support of Danielle Laporte’s book, The Desire Map.


Danielle pioneered “goal setting” from a heart-centered approach. Instead of focusing on THINGS to add to our New Year’s resolution list, she helped us see how we can focus on how we want to FEEL on a daily basis, forming a guiding light for all we do in life.

I absolutely love this work, and I’m so so honored to be a part of the launch team for the RELAUNCH of her Heart Centered Planner in 2025. This planner was a huge piece of my life and growth many years ago. Danielle took a break offering these each year, but when I got the email 2025 was a GO for the relaunch, I knew I wanted to be a part of the team.

You’ll hear more from me about this planner, but if you want to check it out — and decide you’re IN:

*I’m personally opting into the Daily Planner (versus the weekly). Here’s a preview of the daily pages. My goal is for this to be journal-meets-heart-centered work. I love how she also notes the Moon phases each month :-)
